I want to know - and nobody, not a single person has been able to give me a satisfactory response - where it is written that insurance companies have an INHERENT RIGHT to any involvement in our health care?

Perhaps you can pose that very direct question to Congressman Kucinich (of whom I was a vociferous supporter for president.)

Kucinich was on at the very beginning.... He's trying to keep it open for individual states to do their own single payer plans right now, since the president and the corporatist congresspersons have made it into a dead letter on the national level.

If a state gets single payer, businesses will relocate there because they save $$$ on health care. It will start a domino effect. Saskatchewan started it in Canada, and the other provinces followed suit. I was talking to Carl Romanelli of the Green Party, and this is what he told me. Romanelli ran against Casey and Santorum for senator, and he knows Ralph Nader. And Cynthia McKinney.

NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) --- The New Jersey officials and their associates charged in a federal probe of public corruption exchanged hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in parking lots, restaurants, boiler rooms and bathrooms, an acting U.S. attorney said Thursday.

Dear Brad --- where are the Malloy podcasts of your show? I'm a subscriber of MM's show, and the last show that we podcast subscribers got was July 21. Last time you guest hosted we got all the podcasts. Please make sure you are putting the podcasts of the shows up! Nothing for 2 whole days!

re Igor and Center for American Progress. He sounded good... but isn't CAP --- like MoveOn --- one of the orgs that Jeremy Scahill outed as having been chosen by the White House to promote the White House's message? Igor kind of changed his tune after one questioner really pressed him about something which I don't recall now.
